It's Me or the Dog: How to Have the Perfect Pet

Victoria Stilwell is one of the worlds most recognized and respected dog trainers. As the host of Britains hit television series Its Me or the Dog and the founder of training schools on both sides of the Atlantic, she is known as much for her spunky attitude as for her caring, effective methods. Now, in her first book, Victoria shows how to tame even the most problematic dog. Simple, intuitive instructions and color photographs help dog owners not merely train their pets, but understand them -- so when a new issue arises, theyll be able to adjust their approach and nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand. Throughout, she reminds owners that training isnt about imposing their will on a dog; its about giving him the tools he needs to live in the human world. Topics include:
